Wake up your natural musical instincts.

Unbound Sounds all about helping you improvise but in your own unique style. Think of it as a bridge between simply playing notes and truly making music. Through a series of short, practical lessons, I’ll guide you through the key elements of music—showing how they fit together and come to life. Along the way, you’ll learn how to shape these tools into something personal, expressive, and uniquely yours. It’s not about rules—it’s about finding your sound.

Are you a student looking to learn?

If theory books leave you confused and lessons feel like a maze, you’re not alone. Being able to express yourself through music can feel out of reach—but with the right tools, it is possible to learn.

That’s where this approach comes in. Instead of overthinking, we play simple, practical games that wake up your inner musician. No matter what instrument you play, you’ll start to connect with music in a more instinctive, expressive way—and begin shaping a sound that’s truly your own.

Are you a teacher looking to grow?

Help your students unlock their musical instincts, find their voice and improvise in their own way. I can teach you playful and practical tools for explaining musical feelings and phrasing. Every student needs a unique approach, and these tools give you the flexibility to explain the fundamentals in a new and engaging way.

Are you a composer looking to expand?

Break through writer’s block and unlock your creativity. By exploring how music works as feeling and in a playful way, you’ll become a more expressive writer and develop a more spontaneous approach to writing. The freedom of infinite ideas and music is just a few lessons away!

Are you a hobbyist looking to grow?

Enhance the freedom and playfulness of what you love, and learn music with more ease. No matter your instrument of choice, these simple lessons will help take music off the page for you and let you live it when you play. Learn to improvise with music in your own style.

If I had learnt this at the start, everything would have been so much easier. Now I get music!

About Josh van Konkelenberg

Helping you find your sound

It’s been my life mission to figure out how it all works together, and explain that to other people.

After studying improvisation at the Royal College of Music in London, I spent a decade teaching and experimenting with how to make music ‘click’ for people.

I’ve helped hundreds of musicians unlock their creativity and expression, and now I want to help you on that journey.
